Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 736: The robbers

  Chapter 737 Robbers

  "In that position, he won't be able to sit for long."

  Albert sat next to Isobel and took a swig of the frothy hot butterbeer, feeling his body warm from the inside out.

  "That's unfortunate news."

  Isobel thinks Cornelius Fudge is quite unlucky. Since Albert said so, he will probably lose the position of Minister of Magic in the near future.

   "At the beginning, I predicted his success on the Hogwarts Express, and for this I earned the first pot of gold coins in the magical world." Albert sighed with emotion.

  "At that time, wouldn't you know divination?"

  Isobel thinks this is very likely. Otherwise, how could Albert, who has just entered the magic world, invest a lot of Galleons to participate in the quiz?

   "It's pure luck, I'm very confident in my luck, and my wand can bring me luck." Albert pulled out his redwood wand and added with a smile: "Mr. Ollivander But I have personally said that redwood wands bring luck to the user."

  Isobel silently took a sip of butter beer, completely disbelieving Albert's nonsense.

   "Thanks to the money we made, we had our later deal. Speaking of which, we should be thankful to him for being together." Albert looked across the tables in front of him and looked at the Minister of Magic Looking back, he said in a calm tone: "Now, I am here to predict his failure. The summer he graduated from Hogwarts was the moment when he was kicked from the heights."

  "You thank him like this?" Isobel raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she wanted to laugh.

  "It's not my fault, it's his fault."

   "Am I becoming more and more like a magician?" Albert suddenly said: "Actually, I'm considering whether to give myself the title of a prophet. I heard that this profession is quite respected by everyone."

   "Well, by the way, I can make up a pretense that I can see some fragments of the future since I was a child, and disguise myself as a genius with a gift for prophecy since I was a child." Albert seems to be seriously thinking about this plan feasibility.

   "Did you learn this set of fooling words from Professor Trelawney?" Isobel felt that she had discovered what Albert had learned from Professor Trelawney.

   "It was discovered by you." Albert reached out and grabbed Isobel's soft palm, and said to himself, "Professor Trelawney often complained to me that he was treated as a liar by others, and he didn't. People believe that she has the ability to predict, but I think it's all because she can't prove to everyone that she can predict the future, otherwise who will think of her as a liar, rather than think that prophets are mysterious guys. "

   "Are you sure those so-called prophets didn't pretend to be mysterious and deliberately ambiguous because they were afraid of wrong predictions?" Isobel unceremoniously exposed the tricks of the "prophecy".

   No prophet can guarantee that the future he predicts will not change. In order to keep the prophet's "title and reputation", it is obviously necessary to be ambiguous, because no matter what the result is, it can be given "reasonable" explanation.

  "Sometimes even if you see it through, don't say it."

  "Did you tell the whole tavern, Hagrid?"

  Professor McGonagall's angry voice suddenly came from the bar, the atmosphere in the bar was stagnant, everyone secretly turned their heads to look in the direction of the bar, and perked up their ears to eavesdrop. Everyone was curious about what the professors were talking about and why Professor McGonagall was so excited.

   However, the five people sitting at the bar seem to keep their voices low when they speak, in order to prevent people from eavesdropping. very noisy.

   However, this couldn't be more difficult for Albert. He took out a small box from the right pocket of his robe, and inside it was something like an earphone.

  "What is this?"

  Isobel noticed what Albert took out and asked in a low voice.

  "A gadget for eavesdropping."

  Albert quietly dropped the magic version of the bug in the corner of the counter when he went to buy butter beer.

   "The principle of this thing is a bit like a magic radio, but it is still a semi-finished product and has many flaws. It will not work if it is too far away." Albert motioned for Isobel to lean over and listen together.

  "They were talking about Black."

  Isobel leaned close to Albert and heard the voices of the professors.

   "You would think Black and Potter are brothers, they are almost inseparable!" Professor Flitwick's voice came through the earphones.

  "...When James and Lily got married, Blake was the best man, and they called Blake Harry's godfather." This time it was Fudge, and a lot of news was revealed.

  "Things seem to be getting interesting."

  Albert looked over to the fireplace, where Hermione and Ron were pretending to be drinking butterbeer, apparently hearing Fudge as well.

   As for Harry Potter hiding under the invisibility cloak, even if Albert can't see it, it's not difficult to guess what the other party's expression is now.

  Isobel followed Albert's gaze and noticed that Ron and Hermione were eavesdropping by the Christmas tree, and Harry Potter was apparently also eavesdropping on the conversation there.

   They listened quietly to the conversation over there, and soon weaved the thread of the whole thing.

  Harry Potter's parents were hunted down by the mysterious man and used the Faithful Charm to protect themselves. Blake, their friend, became their secret person, but Blake finally betrayed, causing the Potter couple to be killed by the mysterious man die.

   "Fate, sometimes so ingenious." Albert said softly, "It made Harry Potter hear the truth."

  Isobel also thought it was a bit dramatic.

  Harry Potter happened to sneak into Hogsmeade Village, only to hear the professors talk about Black and his father in the bar?

   as if the professors came to drink on Three Broomsticks just to let Harry Potter understand the whole thing, which is too coincidental.

   "Dirty, smelly traitor!" Hagrid's angry voice resounded throughout the bar, and the entire bar was instantly silent.

   The students in the bar pricked up their ears as Hagrid spoke aloud about his encounter with Black.

   However, they were unaware of the dramatic changes that followed.

  Blake and Potter's good friend Peter Pettigrew first found Blake by the Ministry of Magic and confronted him about why he betrayed the Potters and was killed by Blake using a spell.

  Black was caught by the Aurors who came and was sent to Azkaban prison without trial.

   "As far as I know, the largest wreck of Peter Pettigrew found by the Ministry of Magic is a finger." Albert said softly, looking at the backs of Professor McGonagall leaving.

  "A finger?"

  Isobel also noticed some problems, evil spells can indeed wipe out people, but with only one finger left, it's a bit suspicious.

   After all, it’s hard to believe what kind of duel would make someone lose a finger first.

   From a bystander's point of view, Isobel sees it better than others, and Albert deliberately mentions this, obviously for other reasons.

  "What secret did you find?" Isobel said with a quirky expression, "Don't you think that Blake is the innocent and Peter Pettigrew is the betrayal."

   Thinking about it carefully, it is really possible, and reality is sometimes more magical than fiction.

   Moreover, Isobel suspects that Albert may have a key clue.

   "I found something." Albert said mysteriously after making sure that no one around was eavesdropping.

  "What's the matter?"

   "Who is the maker of the Marauder's Map?" Albert raised his wand and turned out an umbrella to block the snowflakes flying overhead for Isobel.

  "Is that the map you used to use?"

  "The prongs, the big feet, the worm tail, and the moon face."

   "You mean that the moon face is Professor Lupin?" Isobel felt that this nickname was very suitable, directly implying Professor Lupin's werewolf identity.

   And Professor Lupin is a friend of Potter's father, plus Black and Peter just four.

  Professor McGonagall just said that James and Black like to be mischievous, and Hagrid also thinks the Weasley brothers are a lot like them.

   "The prongs should refer to James Potter, who is good at Quidditch and likes to be in the limelight. Wormtail refers to Peter Pettigrew who is behind the two, and Bigfoot refers to Sirius Black." Isobel quickly matched the nickname to the name.

   But what exactly do their nicknames stand for?

  Isobel couldn't figure it out, looked at Albert beside him, and waited for the other party to reveal the secret, but Albert didn't seem to mean to say it.

   So, she reached out and pinched Albert's waist secretly, but unfortunately he was too thick to feel anything at all.

  "This is not the place to say that."

  Albert bared his lower teeth, pretending that he had been pinched.

  The two headed to Hogsmeade's cabin and returned to Hogwarts Castle through the Vanishing Cabinet there.

   "Okay, tell me what you know." Isobel asked.

   "The moon face refers to Professor Lupin's werewolf identity, so does their nickname represent their transformation." Albert expressed his speculation.

   "Transfiguration?" Isobel asked in disbelief. "You mean the Animagus? If so, the prongs should refer to the horns of some animal, sheep, cow, or deer, to James Porter likes the outgoing personality, the Bucks are more suitable."

   "Big feet should be animal feet. By the way, the previous black dog was not looking for food, but a newspaper. There was a newspaper around at that time, but we stared at it, so It took the half-section bag."

   "Black itself means black. No wonder you noticed the black dog. Did you already know that the dog was Black?" Isobel believes that if the Ministry of Magic did not know that Black could become In the case of a black dog, it is basically impossible to catch him.

   Also, if Blake turns into a dog and tries to escape from Azkaban, it's not impossible.

   After all, dementors are blind and can only be judged by their emotions, and animals are obviously not rich in emotions, and they don't think of Black as a dog.

   "So, what is Wormtail?" Isobel asked.

   "I suspect it is a mouse." Albert stated his findings and speculation, "The Weasleys have a mouse that has lived for five or six years, or even longer, named Scabbers, which once belonged to Percy, It was later given to Ron, who was Potter's friend. The whole family photo of the Weasleys that Blake saw from the Daily Prophet probably saw the mouse and he found Peter Pettigrew alive , and by my godson's side, if I were Blake, I would probably crawl out of hell. Not only for revenge, but also to avoid danger to my godson."

   "Once You-Know-Who returns, Peter Pettigrew will definitely give Harry Potter to You-Know-Who, and who would dare say that he betrayed You-Know-Who."

   "This is really a dramatic change, traitors become heroes, and heroes become traitors." Isobel looked at Albert and asked, "By the way, how can you be so clear, you did Relevant prophecies, and then push back from the results."

   "Well, it's almost as you guessed." Albert didn't deny it, there must be a reason, "Actually, I once saw the name Peter on the Marauder's map, in the common room, and I still Thought it was the name of a cat or other animal."

  "What are you going to do?" Isobel frowned and asked, "If the truth is made public, there are probably not many people who are willing to believe it."

  In most people's cognition, Black is a traitor and a wanted criminal, and Peter Pettigrew is a hero who has been sacrificed.

  If Albert had told the truth, people would only regard him as a lunatic and a grandstanding clown.

  Harry Potter is the best example.

   Well, almost forgot, Potter hasn't been an example yet.

  "I'm waiting, maybe I can earn Black's bounty~IndoMTL.com~ and make it public." Albert said carefully, "I have a plan."

   "If the Ministry of Magic knew that Black was innocent, they wouldn't be willing to pay you the bounty," Isobel reminded, "and they don't want to see that Black is innocent, you know me. mean?"

  If Sirius Black is innocent, that means the Ministry of Magic has put a hero behind bars in Azkaban for more than ten years.

If this incident came to light, the Ministry of Magic's face would be thrown to the ground and trampled on.

   The arrest of Black during this period will also turn into a big joke.

   No one wants to admit their mistakes, and no one wants to be a laughing stock.

   "I know, but there is always a chance." Albert said, "It depends on how I handle this, and there is no need to worry, the future Ministry of Magic will be disintegrated and reorganized, and those purebloods will become past."

   "You're always adventurous, which is not good." Isobel suspects that Albert is trying to do something big again, and it's been planned for a long time.

  "Don't worry, I'll pull in other helpers and arrange everyone clearly."
